Yes you are correct some art comes from an emotional inspiration, some from intellectual, some from political etc. but in judging wether or not it is good or valid the response has to omit emotion otherwise you will never get beyond wether you “like” it or not. To like or not like a piece of art is easy everybody will have that level of response but on a more anylitcal level you have to make it beyond liking or disliking. To mereley like or dislike is to dismiss as mere decoration. The emotional quality in a piece of good art lies further beneath the surface than that, because an artist is after all human and thus far more complex than the instant response of liking or disliking in a matter of seconds……………
